Hmm, 4T, not sure if that was in English or not! However, as you don't fit the profile for Wannabes (as far as I can tell), I'm moving this post to Aircrew Notices.

Clog...I do not understand your post either..should I? :D And about the poster. Would it be sensible to have it re-written? I am sure many people would like to offer advice, but cannot due to a complete mis-understanding.

Smooth skies,

Dan :cool:

Looks like I had a brain fart when i wrote that one. I am looking for help with what to say on application forms when they ask " why should we employ you " or "What makes a great easyjet pilot ?", I Can fly just about anything with wings, but struggle to get my head around forms and express experience etc in a way that others apart from myself understand.
Appologies for the lack of english in the last one. hence my dilema !

Can't advise specifically regarding Easy, but.........

You could tell them that CAP 371 (Flight Time Limitations - UK) is very realistic, that you'd gladly work them right up to the limit, and exercise "discretion" to go beyond them without hesitation.

You could tell them that you don't need food in order to function safely.

You could tell them that decent sleep is completely unnecessary.

You could tell them that you are willing to be relocated anywhere they so choose, at zero notice, as many times as they decree, without financial assistance or compensation.

You could tell them that you are willing to pay back all training costs should you decide to leave their employ -- which you won't do anyway because you will be totally loyal to them for the entirety of your "career".

That covers the preferred minimum "qualifications" then.

Oh, and you need a bit of paper called a license, which allows you to park your bum in a cockpit seat. Experience optional (the Captain carries the can anyway).

Hope that helps. ;)

I think 4T winks can cope with all that you've mentioned Anthony... knowing his present/about to become previous employer :D :D :D
